Clarkson Students and Sports Fans to Benefit from Internet Broadcasting Collaboration with SurferNETWORK

Students seeking cutting-edge professional experience in the information technology field, as well as Clarkson sports fans and other Internet video users, will benefit from a collaboration signed recently between Clarkson University and SurferNETWORK.

SurferNETWORK, one of the leading providers of Internet broadcasting services, and Clarkson will work together on research, technology transfer, education and training projects that will benefit both organizations.

Alumni and other sports fans are already benefiting from the Internet video broadcast service that SurferNETWORK is providing to the University through the agreement. More than 200 men's hockey fans a night enjoy live video streaming of Clarkson's home games. Broadcast of the games will continue throughout the season with expansion to other selected sports in the spring semester. The University also plans to broadcast a variety of classes and seminars, with video of weekly Chemistry Department seminars available to students this fall.

"It has been great working with the participating faculty and students at Clarkson," says SurferNETWORK President Bill Grywalski. "Clarkson has exceeded our expectations both in their enthusiasm and technical capabilities."

SurferNETWORK grew interested in working with Clarkson after hiring Vickii Bacchetta, who graduated in 2005 from the University with a double major in information systems & business processes and technical communications.

"I'm very excited to be continuing my relationship with Clarkson through the alliance," says Bacchetta. "It offers great opportunities to both sides: Clarkson can now better reach out to a world-wide Internet broadcast audience and SurferNETWORK has the support of one of the foremost technological schools in the country."

"SurferNETWORK has always been a technology leader in the streaming media industry," says Grywalski. "Our alliance with Clarkson, a prestigious technological university, will help us to keep that edge."
